Queensland's Whitehaven Beach came in at No.3 in the 2013 Traveller's Choice Awards, but this year was overtaken by popular international rivals.

So, where in the world could you find a better beach than the picture-perfect Whitsundays site - or our WA gems, for that matter?

Beaches in Brazil, Turks and Caicos Islands, Puerto Rico and Italy were judged to be the top four.

Whitehaven Beach is the best in Australia and the South Pacific - but it's not the world's best, according to TripAdvisor reviewers. Picture: TripAdvisor Source: Supplied

But it's not all bad news for Whitehaven, which was named the best beach in the South Pacific.

Queensland had a total of three beaches, while WA and NSW each had two among the South Pacific top 10.

Chief executive officer of Whitsundays Marketing and Development Danial Rochford said he was thrilled with taking out the South Pacific gong.

"On behalf of the Whitsundays tourism industry, we are very excited that the Whitehaven Beach has taken out the top award and has been recognised as one of the most best beaches in the world," he said.

"I would like to thank all TripAdvisor users who have reviewed and rated Whitehaven Beach, and our local tourism industry for allowing travellers to experience the beauty and magic of Whitsundays whilst preserving this natural wonder at the same time."

"Even if you can't go to one of these stunning beaches soon, just looking at the photos will take you away for a moment, until you can plan a trip," said TripAdvisor's chief marketing officer Barbara Messing.

According to a TripAdvisor survey of more than 2200 Australian travellers, beach vacations are extremely popular. Two in three travellers reported having taken a beach holiday in 2013 while in 2014, four in five travellers are planning to go on a beach vacation.

Travellers' Choice Beaches Award-winners were determined based on the quality and quantity of traveller reviews and ratings for beaches on TripAdvisor gathered over a 12-month period.
